There are atleast two twin cam heads available for A series motors. Well atleast for Minis, I'm not sure if the would work on spridgets. It seems like the A series people get all the neat performanc

Hmmm... is there any interest in a kit that would adapt the popular and plentiful Toyota 1600 twin cam and 5 speed or the Mazda 1600 and 5 speed to the MGB? I'm sure we could also cast new "MG" valve

to Yes, I would be very much interested in such a swap. I'm now in the process of stuffing a Ford 5.0 into my TR6, but for the MGBGT, I think I would like to go with a 4 cylinder, rather than a V8, j

Mike: How about something a bit brawnier, such as an Oldsmobile Quad 4 driving a T5 (or whatever the recent GM 5-speeds are called)? Anything worth doing is worth over-doing! Regards, Jerry Causey -

It's been done to a Midget, so I don't see why you couldn't do it to a B. See the writeup on team.net: http://www.team.net/www/mg/tech/midget/engswapa.html -- Matt Liggett <mliggett@pobox.com> : 1960
